It wasn't the 4th hokage, because his soul was in the belly of the shinigame, the kabuto said in episode 264 of shippuden, that whoever is inside the belly of the shinigame, cannot be revived
My god look at the animation at the time, the framing, the choreography, the fluidity. I know Shippuden had some clean ass fights like Kakashi vs Obito but the way the POVs are here are legit so unique. Naruto's art direction was much better than Shippuden's imo.
Yeah, but when Kishimoto was writing the story, he hasn't thought that deep yet. Hiruzen was more worried about Minato than the brothers. Later on it turns out Minato was the weakest and had the 9 tails cloak to even bring him up to par.
@@8BitGamer4life minato is tied with tobirama on the 3rd place of strenght among the hokages, the ranking goes naruto-hashirama-minato and tobirama-hiruzen-tsunade-kakashi, hiruzen is only ever so sligthly weaker than tobirama and minato but still with a gap that didnt allow him to stop the 9 tails by hiruzens own words, minato did with ease after trashing obito quickly (remember that he died after he and kushina sacrificed themselves to protect naruto from the 9 tails while simultaneously sealing half of it inside him) so no, of all the 4 hokage, minato is not the weakest
Hiuzen is facing two hokages who are on the level of God alone shows his strength and how powerful he is even at that age but he is very underrated among Fandom
The animw really messed up by deciding to not give edo tensei black eyes and then later suddenly decide to give them it. And dont even tro to whiteknight with some imperfect edo tensei bullcrap bc in the manga their eyes are black here too
why are the past hokages looking normal in here, in Shippuden reanimated corpse show distinct features such as a crack like thing on the face and a black eye.
prior to this arc I thought hiruzen was just some frail old man but then he fended off orochimaru, tobirama and hashirama and he was spamming every type of jutsu which is incredible.
Hiruzen was lucky Minato used the Reaper Death Seal early on. Otherwise, Minato would've killed Hiruzen for not only him being the Yellow Flash, but he would also kill Hiruzen for mistreating Naruto.
hiruzen didnt mistreat naruto, is one of the few people who treated him with respect along with iruka and the ramen stall guy and his daughter, it was danzo behind the scenes pushing all the rumours, just like he did with the uchiha, granted that narutos behaviour didnt help him, remember that they had to hide that naruto was the son of minato and kushina for his own saftey
